Our Admissions

Our two-tier admissions process is geared to finding the people who will benefit most from our program, and more importantly, those who want to participate. All applicants are admitted only on a voluntary basis.

As a contract agency with Forsyth,Stokes Mental Health Authority, Group Homes of Forsyth, Inc. has an working agreement with the Mental Health Authority which affects our admission and discharge process. Insuring that all candidates are evaluated by consistent standards is important. So anyone applying to one of our group homes or other residential programs must be screened through the Single Portal Entry structure set up by the local Mental Health Authority.

Final selection of candidates is based on an applicant's needs, their compatibility with our program and their potential for growth and development. Admission includes a written agreement between the agency and resident (and/or parent or guardian of the resident). The agreement outlines the duties and responsibilities of the resident and the agency and gives detailed information on the grievance and discharge policy.
